John Cage was a pioneering American composer and philosopher whose work significantly influenced the development of modern music, art, and thought. Here are some of his main features and contributions:
 +
 +
### 1. **Emphasis on Silence**
 +
  - **"4′33″"**: Cage's most famous work, "4′33″," is a composition where performers do not play their instruments for four minutes and thirty-three seconds. The "music" comes from the ambient sounds in the environment, emphasizing the idea that silence is never truly silent.
 +
 +
### 2. **Use of Chance and Indeterminacy**
 +
  - Cage introduced elements of chance into his compositions, allowing random processes to determine aspects of the music, such as the duration, pitch, and order of notes. This approach was influenced by his study of Zen Buddhism and the I Ching (an ancient Chinese divination text).
 +
### 3. **Prepared Piano**
 +
  - Cage invented the "prepared piano," where objects like screws, rubber, and wood were placed between the strings of a piano to alter its sound. This created a percussive and otherworldly timbre, expanding the sonic possibilities of the instrument.
 +
### 4. **Collaboration and Multimedia Works**
 +
  - Cage collaborated with artists from various disciplines, including dance, visual arts, and theater. His work with choreographer Merce Cunningham, where music and dance were created independently yet performed together, was particularly groundbreaking.
 +
### 5. **Non-Traditional Notation**
 +
  - Cage experimented with non-standard forms of musical notation, such as graphic scores, which gave performers more interpretive freedom. This broke away from the strict conventions of Western classical music.
 +
### 6. **Exploration of Sound and Noise**
 +
  - Cage challenged the distinction between music and noise, believing that all sounds, whether traditionally musical or not, could be considered music. This was part of his broader philosophy that music is everywhere, and everything we hear can be appreciated as part of a musical experience.
 +
### 7. **Philosophical Influence**
 +
  - Cage’s work was heavily influenced by Eastern philosophies, particularly Zen Buddhism. He believed in letting go of ego and intention in the creative process, allowing art to happen naturally and spontaneously.
 +
### 8. **Impact on Avant-Garde and Contemporary Music**
 +
  - Cage’s ideas had a profound impact on the development of experimental and avant-garde music in the 20th century. He influenced a wide range of composers, performers, and artists, and his concepts continue to resonate in contemporary music and art practices.
 +
John Cage's work redefined what music could be, encouraging a broader, more inclusive understanding of sound and artistic expression.

"Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we're living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of it's own accord."--John Cage/“Silence: Lectures and Writings."

Die Sommerausstellung widmet sich der Künstlerin Corita Kent (1918–1986). Sie war nicht nur eine bahnbrechende Pop-Art-Künstlerin, sondern als ehemalige Nonne des amerikanischen Ordens Immaculate Heart of Mary auch eine gefeierte Kunstpädagogin und Verfechterin sozialer Gerechtigkeit.
 +
Im Laufe ihres Schaffens entwickelte sich Corita Kents Kunst von der Verwendung figurativer und religiöser Bilder hin zu leuchtend farbigen Serigrafien, die mit Elementen aus Werbegrafik und Slogans, Supermarktlogos, Typografie von Fahndungsplakaten, populären Songtexten, Bibelversen sowie handschriftlichen Literaturzitaten eine zunehmend kritische Haltung gegenüber den bestehenden Missständen der amerikanischen Gesellschaft einnahmen. In ihrer Kunst und in gemeinschaftlichen Aktionen forderte sie dazu auf, sich mit Armut, Hunger, Rassismus, sozialem Leid und dem Vietnamkrieg auseinanderzusetzen.

Kunst gleich Leben :: John Cage

14. Juni bis 20. September 2009 Galerie Stihl Waiblingen


Die Ausstellung "Kunst = Leben. John Cage" ist eine Werkstatt, eine Sammlung von Notizen, eine Collage. Sie folgt dem Gedanken John Cage's „Was ich suche, ist das Öffnen von allem, was möglich ist und für alles, was möglich ist“. Sie will jene Aufmerksamkeit bewirken, die er so umschrieb: „Die Kunst hat die Funktion, die Leute für das Leben in ihrem Umkreis wach zu machen“ oder auch „Wenn sich die Kunst dem täglichen Leben annähert, wird sie uns dessen Schönheit erschließen“. Sie ist als spartenübergreifendes Projekt konzipiert und vollzieht John Cages kreative Grenzüberschreitung zwischen den Bereichen Musik, Bildender Kunst, Tanz und Theater nach. Mit 72 Exponaten und einem vielfältigen Begleitprogramm zieht sie Kreise um einen radikalen Neulandsucher, sein Denken, seine Arbeitsweise und seine Impulse.

Die visuellen Arbeiten des Künstlers sind, wie viele seiner Kompositionen, durch „I Ging – Zufallsoperationen“ geprägt (I Ging - das chinesische Buch der Wandlungen). Eindrückliche Beispiele dafür bilden seine Ryoanji-Zeichnungen und -Radierungen. „Where R = Ryoanji“ bezieht sich auf den 1499 angelegten Steingarten des Klosters Ryoanji in Kyoto, den Cage im Jahr 1962 zum ersten Mal besuchte. Diese Serie ist in einer einnehmenden Art und Weise meditativ.

Eine sensible Wahrnehmung und zurückhaltender Respekt gegenüber der Natur und ihrer urwüchsigen, intentionslosen Gestaltungskraft wird in den Arbeiten „River, Rocks and Smoke”, „New River Water Color“ und “Variations” deutlich.

“Imitating nature in her manner of operation”, also die Funktionsweise der Natur nachzuvollziehen, dieses Postulat John Cage’s verkörpert in feinfühliger Weise die 35-teilige Serie von Farbradierungen „On the surface“.

Eine weitere Gruppe von Arbeiten beleuchtet John Cage’s Bezugspunkte zu anderen Künstlern. Die Lithographie und die Plexigramme „Not wanting to say anything about Marcel“ entstanden auf Grund seines langjährigen und prägenden Kontakts zu Marcel Duchamp. Seine produktive Arbeitsverbindung zu Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns vermittelt sich u. a. in einem Blatt von Robert Rauschenberg und einem von Jasper Johns gestalteten Plakat. Mit beiden tourte er über mehrere Jahre mit der Merce Cunningham Dance Company nicht nur durch die USA. Ein Gemeinschaftsblatt von John Cage und Joseph Beuys für Merce Cunningham steht für eine weitere freundschaftliche Künstlerbeziehung.

Die Ausstellung widmet sich John Cage als einem Künstler, der die Trennung der Bereiche Musik, Bildende Kunst, Tanz und Theater kreativ aufhob und in all diesen Feldern einflussreich tätig war. Dieser Aspekt wird durch das Begleitprogramm "A John Cage Celebration" (Musik, Tanz, Vorträge) vertieft.

Leihgeber ... sind die Bayerischen Staatsgemäldesammlungen - Pinakothek der Moderne, Kolumba - Kunstmuseum des Erzbistums Köln, die Kunsthalle Bremen – Der Kunstverein Bremen, das Kunsthaus Zürich, John Cage Trust, New York, Margarete Roeder Gallery, New York, sowie weitere Galerien und private Leihgeber.
